Minty Donald’s practice is an attempt to understand what it means to be ‘human’ in a more-than-human universe. Her work is context-specific and takes multiple forms including performance, writing, ‘ephemeral’ and ‘permanent’ installation. She works regularly with (human) collaborator Nick Millar. Her practice currently focuses on human-water relations and interdependencies.
